Easter Memories

Every family has traditions especially around certain holidays.  Easter is no exception.  My family had the Easter bunny to bring the kids treats and a small gift.  But we didn't get gifts like it was Christmas like other families did.  Some years we had dyed eggs and egg hunts.  Other years we had kites and chocolate.  But no matter what, we always had fun!

These days, Easter is not as 'fun' as it used to be.  I know, I know.  The true meaning of Easter isn't necessarily the "fun".  But still.  My family gets together and there are no little kids running around.  There are no kites.  My mom did get some chocolate for me, so that was good.  The great thing about having children around during holidays is that adults can be kids again, too.  It would seem silly if all of us adults dyed eggs and then went on a hunt for them.  But throw in a 3 year old and all of sudden, it's a family affair! 

So, today on Easter Sunday, my family and I ate [a lot] and hung out and talked and watched TV like adults do.  It was nice, but not necessarily "fun".  Someday my kid(s) will be there to put some fun into the day.  I can't wait for that someday!
